The query string doesn't have anything binary, and the call doesn't work.  I get a
syntax error right before the semicolon.

This is my query string:
INSERT INTO micromodels
 (name, revision, dynamic, m_class, novars, equation, min_0, min_1,
 min_2, min_3, min_4, min_5, min_6, min_7, min_8, max_0, max_1,
 max_2, max_3, max_4, max_5, max_6, max_7, max_8, except_0,
 except_1, except_2, except_3, except_4, except_5, except_6,
 except_7, except_8, prompt_0, prompt_1, prompt_2, prompt_3, prompt_4,
 prompt_5, prompt_6, prompt_7, prompt_8, allow_0, allow_1, allow_2,
 allow_3, allow_4, allow_5, allow_6)
   VALUES ('Eye Movement
Time',1,NULL,'per',0,'.1;',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,0,0,0,1);

And I get this error:

You have an error in your SQL syntax near ' '1.' at line 10

Kind of weird.  I tried upping the strlen by 1, and that didn't work either.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Anna
